SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 319,886, dated June 9,1885.

Application filed Qctober 27, 1884. (No model.) 4

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN L. O. CRONYN, of the city of Buffalo, in thecounty of Erie and State ofNew York, have invented new and use fulImprovements in Cigar-Holders, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to an improvement in that class of cigarmouth-pieces or holders in which the liquid or condensed vapor isretained in the holder and prevented from being drawn into the month byan inner tube extending rearwardly from the mouth-piece, and forming acollecting-chamber between the inner tube and the outer portion or bodyof the mouth-piece.

The object of my invention is to construct a mouth-piece or holder ofthis class of rubber or other elastic material, which will be light andconvenient in use.

My invention consists in the improvement in the construction of theholder, which will be hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out inthe claim.

1n the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a sectional elevation,and Fig. 2 a side elevation, of my improved cigar-ho lder.

Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the several figures.

A represents the body of a cigar mouthpiece or holder, made of softrubber in the usual form, and having its large portion a preferablyprovided with openings a, for ventilating the holder.

i) represents the mouth-piece of the holder, which is doubled backinwardly, so as to form an inner tube, 0, which projects inwardly orrearwardly from the mouth-piece b, but not far enough to reach the endof the cigar.

e is an annular chamber or space, which is formed between the tube 0 andthe outer portion of the mouth-piece Z), and which constitutes areceptacle for the vapor which condenses in the holder. The tube 0prevents this noxious liquid from being drawn into the mouth with thesmoke, as the liquid will adhere to the outer walls of the mouth-pieceand be retained in the space 6, between the outer wall and the innertube, 0. The tube 0 is made in one piece with the holder, and the latteris constructed of soft rubber of sufficient firmness to cause the holderto retain its shape, but sufficient flexibility to yield to the pressureof the teeth and lips, thereby forming a very convenient and agreeableholder.

I claim as my invention A cigar-holder constructed of flexible material,and composed of an outer body, A, and an inner tube, 0, both the bodyand tube being formed of a single tubular piece of practically uniformthickness of material, and said tube being doubled. back into the bodyto extend rearwardly from the mouth-piece and form a collecting-chamber,6, with the body A, substantially as set forth.

Witness my hand this 14th day of October, 1884.
